YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFirst contact stories are often told from the European perspective, but what about the native viewpoint? In 1921, Squamish elder Louis Miranda recounted a story passed down through generations. When a strange "wooden island" appeared at the mouth of the Squamish River, villagers investigated and saw pale, fully-covered men. Believing them to be ghosts from the land of the dead, the Squamish tested their theory. When one of the warriors tugged the hand of a stranger, the “ghost” cried out in pain—proving they were not spirits but mortal men. This fascinating tale offers a unique lens into first contact history and indigenous storytelling.
